    Bringing beatdown to a gunfight

    Didn't see this posted yet. Mods, feel free to merge/delete if I missed it. I'd like to ask some questions about responding to situations similar to those depicted in the video at this link (click on "Featured Video" box at right): http://www.newson6.com/Global/story.asp?s=8810893 Text...

    Pocket auto? No--pocket GUARD DOG.

    I thought this was worthy of a chuckle, but also might show the utility of a dog, regardless of size or perceived ferocity: http://www2.tbo.com/content/2008/jul/09/me-tunneling-intruder-no-match-for-homeowner-and-h/?news

    How to carry on a golf course?

    Saw this in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Don't know if this should go in S&T or General Discussions: http://www.jsonline.com/watch/?watch=1&date=6/29/2008&id=42398 I don't know of any on-body carry that would work with a typical golf swing, but you folks might have better ideas. When...

    What caliber for grizzlies? Large-bore brass..err..."musket" balls

    This Canadian out-toughs just about anyone I've read about recently. No word on the caliber of rifle, but whatever it was, it pales in comparison to his own actions. Link: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/cbc/080606/canada/vancouver_bc_grizzly_attack_survivor

    Good IWB Holster for XD .45 5"

    Comp-Tac Minotaur MTAC I've had good luck with this one from Comp-Tac: http://www.comp-tac.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=95&osCsid=01c4cb7dae5239227d2c174521b7acb8 It's sold as a tuckable, but works well as an IWB as well. I'm using a 4" XD45c, but they make them for just...

    Man carrying Mexican-style injures 6 year-old girl.

    There is a lot about this story that's not clear, including whether or not the firearm holder was a legal holder, had a CCW license, etc. I'm hoping not; otherwise, it bodes poorly for legal carriers here in MN. Link to original story: http://www.startribune.com/local/15587797.html If...

    S&W 625-8JM Grips: Hogue or Pachmayr?

    I have a pretty new S&W 625-8JM. I like it fine, but it needs a trigger job, and I don't care for the JM wooden monogrip. I've looked at several replacement grips at Brownells and Midway, and have narrowed it down to two: the Hogue monogrip, and the Pachmayr Decelerator. I'm somewhat...

    suggestion...

    Come on, Humphrey. Without them, at whom would we laugh? And besides, didn't a cadre of APSers go underground a while back? Where would our tinfoil friends find refuge?

    What caliber for spiders?

    James Bond and spiders I think Bond only had one run-in with a spider: in "Dr. No," one of the Doctor's henchmen was given an ostensibly poisonous tarantula by No, and planted it in Bond's room. While Bond was sleeping, the spider crept up his bed under the sheets and ended up climbing across...

    Some XD Questions

    Mushy, creepy triggers. I agree with some here that XD triggers can be mushy. I have three, and have had over 1000 rds through two of them. Their triggers are still kind of creepy--I get to the point in the trigger pull when I start to get resistance, and instead of breaking cleanly, it...

    Springer XD45 Compact Mags--where?

    I just picked up a SA XD45C (compact model, with 1 10 and 1 13 round mag). I'm also looking for spare mags, but can't seem to find any. I tried the gun shops; tried searching this forum, XDTalk, and General Google; looked at Midway and Brownell's, but no joy. Does anyone know if anybody is...

    Home invasion...by the police?

    This could have been much worse, and I fear the possibility is becoming more common, with the frequency of no-knock warrants and a relatively large immigrant community in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area: http://www.startribune.com/local/12552126.html Despite the fact that most of us...

    On the fence about firearms--for home and personal defense

    Lots of options--keep an open mind JT, Good on you for considering this. Please keep an open mind, especially in light of the environment to which you're moving. As to your questions: 1) I don't know, as I'm not knowledgeable of CA gun laws. There are plenty of folks on THR who are, I...

    Good on ya, Grandma!

    A story from the Joplin Globe, via the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Interesting that the P-D would be posting a wire story like this from the other side of the state: If only every one of these stories was given the press it deserves. Here's the Joplin Globe link, in case you're curious...

    Wanted! Benelli Nova Slug Barrel With Cantilever Mount!!!

    Good luck with that. I put a down payment on one at the Cabela's in Rogers, MN, two years ago, and still haven't seen it. The special order guy has told me that the barrels used to be made by Ithaca, but when they went belly-up, Benelli USA didn't have a backup plan for sourcing the barrels...

    New Law - No HOLLOWPOINTS in MN???
